A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Johanna Kravchuk. I currently work as a Teacher Assistant at New Horizon School, where I help care for and teach a classroom of 20+ students. I love creating a positive, safe, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and feel supported.

Working with kids has always been a passion of mine, and I’m looking to connect with families who are looking for a dependable, caring, and energetic nanny or babysitter. I truly enjoy building meaningful relationships with children while helping them learn, play, and have fun. I’d love to get to know your family—please feel free to reach out!
